dc.description A menudo se acusa a los libros de texto escolares de transmitir una imagen falsa, peyorativa, de la Edad Media. Aunque semejantes reproches puedan parecer nuevos, las protestas contra la hostilidad a la Edad Media, que rechazan el tópico del oscurantismo medieval, han estado a la orden del día durante los dos últimos siglos. Sin embargo, es muy difícil encontrar en los modernos libros de historia nada que justifique la acusación de haber exagerado las tinieblas medievales. En general, los historiadores modernos, tanto liberales como socialistas, han mantenido una opinión favorable de las instituciones y la cultura medievales, llegando incluso a encomiar la obra de la Iglesia como resguardo de la civilización, pero sin ocultar sus aspectos irracionales y reaccionarios. Las acusaciones que Jacques Heers y Jeffrey Burton Russell dirigen contra una presunta falsificación de la historia medieval apuntan explícitamente contra la influencia del darwinismo y el anticlericalismo, lo cual nos pone sobre la pista de sus verdaderas motivaciones ideológicas.<br><br>School text books are often accused of transmitting a false, pejorative image of the Middle Ages. Although reproaches of this type may seem new, they have been very frequent during the last two centuries. Nevertheless, it is very difficult to find in modern books of history something that justifies the accusation of having exaggerated the medieval darkness. In general, liberal or socialist historians have maintained a favourable opinion of the medieval institutions and culture. They have even praised the work of the Church as a safeguard of civilization, but without attempting to hide its irrational and reactionary characteristics. The accusations made by Jacques Heers and Jeffrey Burton Russell against a presumed falsification of medieval history go explicitly against the influence of “Darwinism” and “anticlericalism”; this awareness puts us on the track of their true ideological motivations.
